Description

There's a memory leak if an application is compiled with BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS, is this expected behaviour?

test.cc:
``` c++
#include

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
boost::program_options::options_description opts{"Test"};
opts.add_options()
("help,h", boost::program_options::bool_switch(), "display this help and exit");

return 0;
}
```

Without `BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS` defined:
```
$ g++ -fsanitize=address test.cc -lboost_program_options -lboost_system -o test
$ ./test
$
```

With `BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS` defined:
```
$ g++ -fsanitize=address -DBOOST_DISABLE_THREADS test.cc -lboost_program_options -lboost_system -o test
